Why Karakorum stands out

The Karakorum jacket was specifically recognized for its ability to handle challenging weather conditions while ensuring comfort and breathability. Here are a few reasons why it was awarded.

Weather protection

This jacket excels in harsh conditions, boasting excellent waterproofing and wind resistance. Whether you're hiking in cold, windy weather or braving unexpected downpours, the Karakorum ensures you're well-protected. The collar and helmet-compatible hood are designed for maximum coverage, further enhancing the jacket’s weather resistance.

Breathability and comfort

One of the standout features of the Karakorum is its breathability, thanks to the advanced 3-layer eVent membrane. This technology allows moisture to escape efficiently, preventing you from overheating during intense activities. Ventilation zips on the sides of the torso provide extra airflow, making the jacket adaptable to changing weather conditions and body heat levels.

Durability

Made with a combination of 40D and 70D nylon, the Karakorum is highly durable. It can withstand the wear and tear of rugged outdoor adventures, ensuring that even at its price point, it provides long-term value to its users.

Convenience and features

The jacket's design includes a range of practical features. It has two large external pockets, an internal pocket, and a 2-way zip for added versatility. The helmet-compatible hood is great for climbers, while the relatively compact pack size and low weight (495 g) make it easy to stow away when not in use.

With high marks in these essential areas, the jacket is a strong contender in the outdoor gear market. The Karakorum’s overall ratings reflect its strong performance:

Breathability: 7/8

Weather Protection: 4/5

Climate Comfort: 5/5

Durability and Quality: 4/5
